‘News Stars’ will fill Shepard Smith’s slot, says Fox News president
Shepard Smith has left the Fox News building, but his hour will remain staffed by employees from the network’s news division.
Wallace praised the network’s news-side staff as Smith’s surprise departure, announced Friday, has prompted heightened social-media speculation about the place of traditional newsgathering at the Fox Corp. outlet, which attracts one of TV’s most dependable audiences for opinion-based programs such as “Hannity” and “Fox & Friends.
He indicated Fox News would consider its own news staffers for the new 3 p.m. program, but also suggested the network could be open to an external candidate. “We aren’t rushing into it,” he said. Using a rotating lineup of anchors “lets us figure out what works well for us” and “figure out what works for these times.”
“Emotions can run high, and they do at times, so they do,” he added. “Our guidance has always been to deal with this – if you have a problem with someone, pick up the phone. These are sharp people. Why do you want to parade this in front of everyone? Our audience doesn’t want to see it.”
